Ok, but I need manual control over how the tiles get arranged and shaped.
And I need to be able to stack windows.
Hyprland is pretty and declarative and has so many cool extensions that work really well and help to tie the experience together, but sway is more functional.
If hyprland offered the same ability to manually control the tile tree that sway offers, I'd use it.
For now I'm shoehorning the hyprland extensions like hyprwall and hyprlock onto sway.
Wayland has at least one deal breaker for me. It doesn't remember where my windows were at logout when saving the session. I have six virtual desktops and have specific windows in certain desktops. Putting everything back where they belong after each login, no thank you. Until they add that I'll stick to X11.
I ended up switching to Wayland 3 or 4 years ago precisely because X11 was so shit about remembering my monitor positions. I had to run an xrandr script every time it booted or otherwise decided to shit itself. Using 2 GPUs didn't seem like it was thought about in the X11 design.
Dual GPUs are no issue for x.org it's just that automatic configuration assumes a somewhat standard machine or it gets confused. Should I tell you about the days before automatic configuration, of hand-editing XF86Config to tell the X server that no, I didn't have a serial or ps/2 mouse but an USB one, and it had three buttons and a mouse wheel? Of seeing a list of monitor timings with the comment "CHOOSING THE WRONG THING MIGHT DESTROY YOUR HARDWARE"?
xrandr is actually quite recent (or I may be ancient), being able to do all that stuff at runtime was a godsend.

Fully customised Hyprland use half as much ram as Plasma, but I still prefer Plasma because I can't get used to WM
